Experience of the stay
I spent 3 nights and 4 days in Miyako Island, with 1 night luxuriously spent at "Hilton Okinawa Miyako Island Resort."
Since it has been under 2 years since its opening, the entire facility felt new and clean; especially the ocean view from my room was breathtaking. The bed was also very comfortable, significantly easing the fatigue from my long journey.
The pool area was equipped with numerous beach chairs, allowing for plenty of relaxing time within the resort. With ample amenities and facilities, including a laundry service and gym, the hotel is suitable for long stays.
Considering the quality, just one night felt insufficient, and I definitely plan to stay multiple nights next time. The balance of tropical nature and sophisticated spaces is wonderful, making it especially recommended for those who enjoy resorts.
Experiences during the trip
During my stay, I enjoyed not only the hotel, but also the gourmet cuisine and stunning scenic spots in Miyako Island.
First, I visited the local favorite, "Marukichi Shokudo." The specialty, Soki Soba, features meat so tender it melts in your mouth, bursting with flavor. The "Jushi," which I ordered as a set, was also delicious and provided a high level of satisfaction.
Next, I headed to "Shinjoh Beach." Even in April, the parking lot was almost full, indicating its popularity among locals. I was fortunate to encounter a sea turtle peacefully munching on seaweed, which was truly heartwarming.
For dessert, I went to "Sugubari Terrace," a café run by a mango farm. The mango frappe I ordered was rich and naturally sweet, making it a must-try for mango lovers. I look forward to trying other menu items next time.
"Nakayukui Shoten" is a popular spot that draws long lines even before opening. The sweet treat of red sweet potato and Blue Seal ice cream exceeded my expectations in taste. It's definitely worth the wait.
I also stopped by "Irabu Soba Kame," a renowned shop recognized for its rustic charm. The three-layer pork soba may have been the best dish of my journey, and the accompanying tuna sushi was also fresh and memorable.
Among the scenic spots, "17END" truly stood out. The view of white sandy beaches and clear blue sea was my personal No. 1 from all that I saw in Miyako Island. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I couldn’t witness the airplane landing, but the experience was still breathtaking.
At "Toori Ike," I was overwhelmed by the dynamic terrain created by nature. The clarity and scale were incredible and definitely worth seeing.
Finally, I took a break at "Blue Turtle," a café with an outstanding view overlooking Wataru no Hama. Both the mango juice and brown sugar banana juice I had were refreshing, making it a perfect end to my trip.
